The Athletic Council has invited each alumni association to send a representative to an athletic conference tobe held on Saturday, March 3, at 2:30 P. M. in Boardman Hall.

With us, the lack offacilities for social culture at even so attractive a little city as Ithaca, when compared with those of Philadelphia, Boston andNew York, makes our need far more pressing thanis theirs. It is not, therefore, aquestion whether the project alluded to should be pressed, υr even whether it shall some day be realized, both are certain the only ques- ASSETS United States Bonds and other Se- curities - $173,185,461 74 First Lien Loans on Bond and Mortgage 74,794,821 63 Loans on Bonds and other Securi- ties - - - . . . 6,330,000 00 Loans on Company's Policies - 4,374,636 66 Real Estate : Company^ 12 Office Buildings, a- dother Properties 23,186,525 06 Cash in Banks and Trust Com- panies - 13,012,455 02 Accrued interest, Net Deferred, Premiums, etc. - 6,960,637 41 As the Junior Smoker is held on the evening of March 2d, it is hoped that the two events will call together a considerable number of graduates who are interested in athletics.
